72K on mine, no problems just mods, had to replace the two main belts recently but that's not serious just annoying. Also had to replace one of the a$$ warmer switches but i hear that isn't highly unusual.
Still love the car, rattles don't seem to be any worse than any other car I have ever had with this kind of mileage.
I plan on keeping it until about 97K miles which will probably take me another year and a half at my current rate.

I'm thinking it might be my battery, I've been meaning to get an Optima for quite some time so I already put an order in. I hope that does the trick.
Stupid Infiniti charges $127 just to look at the damn thing.

I bought the Volvos used with between 150-250K and drove another 150-200k myself for each. I then turned around and sold them for about $1K-1.5K and still see them running 3-5 years later. I put in about 30K per year.
The solution-- well built engines, which the VQ is if it comes off of the right assembly line (there were 2 lines IMO, one with rattles, bad parts, bad brakes, bad audio, etc. & the other with minimal to no issues).
